Company Mission Statement

"To provide our business recycling partners, communities, schools and churches the best recycling services and solutions that protect and preserve our environment. To offer rapid and professional sustainable solutions with diligence, honesty and reliability."

River Valley Paper Company is a manager, processor and exporter of waste paper headquartered in Akron, Ohio, with offices and processing facilities in Jacksonville, Florida and Kalamazoo, Michigan. We manage in excess of 30,000 tons per month and market recovered paper throughout North America, as well as exporting worldwide.

Our Akron, Ohio facility, Mill Paper Packaging, occupies 220,000 square feet and is capable of processing 600 tons of high-grade material each day. This facility has its own fleet of trucks, compactors and 28, 48 and 53-foot trailers, allowing us to spot equipment and service accounts that do not have available docks. We have recently added new outdoor recycling bins to be able to service a wider variety of local customers. Our export division is responsible for marketing bales, skids and rolls for worldwide distribution. Our networking has allowed us to move specialty items, as well as mill material for offshore applications.

Our Jacksonville, Florida office along with Portside Paper, one of our new processing facilities, is able to manage customers' needs in the South and Southeast regions of the US.

Our Kalamazoo, Michigan processing facility is also newly acquired. This plant supports the areas west of Ohio for both generators and consumers. RiverCor, Akron, Ohio, is our contract sheeting and converting facility providing quality board and paper sheeting, as well as slitting, trimming and rewinding rolls for the packaging, paper and printing industries.

Although short-term scenarios may look appealing at times, River Valley has a fundamental belief in marketing paper for long-term growth and security. With over 20 years experience, our capabilities for scrap paper service are growing on a daily basis. We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with you to explore a partnership which will be mutually beneficial.
